1842-O Quarter, AU55
The Elusive Small Date Variant

1842-O 25C Small Date AU55 NGC. Toned gunmetal and deep lilac-gray, this 1842-O Small Date quarter is an exceptional representative of the rarest New Orleans issue in the Seated Liberty quarter series. Small Date quarters are usually seen well-worn and seldom exceed the VF grade. They are formidable rarities at the XF and AU grades. This Choice About Uncirculated O-mint coin retains sharp definition for the grade, with remarkably unabraded fields and motifs. Only mild weakness is seen at Liberty's head and a few stars, while the reverse strike could hardly be sharper on a circulated coin. A shallow indent at the rim above star 11 is a thin planchet clip (also seen on the reverse). Seated quarter enthusiasts will have a hard time improving on this Choice AU example. Census: 3 in 55, 2 finer (6/23).(Registry values: P8)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23SN, PCGS# 5403, Greysheet# 5169)
